The Resilient NJ program is administered through the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Climate and Flood Resilience
Program's Bureau of Climate Resilience Planning (BCRP) to
identify and implement innovative regional solutions to address
vulnerabilities to increased coastal and river flood risk and
other stressors. Resilient NJ is an important piece of a New
Jersey's comprehensive efforts to make the state of New
Jersey more resilient.
As part of the federal government's Hurricane Sandy
recovery efforts, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) established the National Disaster Resilience Competition (NDRC), which made $1 billion available to communities struck by natural disasters in recent years. The competition was
designed to promote risk assessment, planning, and
implementation of innovative resilience projects to better
prepare communities for future storms and other extreme weather
events. The competition was funded by Community Development
Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds provided by the
Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 (PL 113-2). In
January 2016, the State of New Jersey was awarded $15 million as
part of the competition. From that award, $10 million will fund Resilient NJ.
El equipo regional formado por Brigantine, Atlantic City
Ventnor, Margate, Longport, Northfield, Pleasantville, Atlantic
Condado de Atlantic y la Cruz Roja Americana compitieron y recibieron
financiación para apoyar el desarrollo y la implementación de una
Plan de Acción de Resiliencia y Adaptación Regional impulsado por la comunidad
en el transcurso de los próximos meses, para mayo de 2022.
As we set off to launch Resilient NJ in an era of new safety precautions and increasingly
virtual interactions, we are going live with our
first-generation webpage early on so that can begin connecting
with all of you from the start. We will build the site out over
the coming months with additional project details and ways to
engage with us.
Para ayudar a construir la base de nuestra evaluación de riesgos y
proceso de planificación de la resiliencia, le invitamos a contribuir a
identificar las necesidades locales y los activos locales (ya sea un
edificio, servicio o área natural) a través de la
sitio web. ¿Qué es importante para usted en su barrio y
región? Nuestra herramienta de cartografía crowdsource se lanzará en primavera
para que los usuarios puedan colocar comentarios en el mapa sobre áreas de
interés, los activos locales y las áreas problemáticas que necesitan soluciones
resilientes y de adaptación.
